| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Text taken from the V Kontakte page of Strelkov Igor Ivanovich Note: It is unclear who "Mikhail" is, other than an acquaintance of Strelkov (Igor Girkin) A pretextual translation: Girkin expects no good to come of the war in Ukraine, and the government in Russia is working to make their plans so. Fragments of Strelkov’s letter to me: “Greetings, Mikhail. I'm glad to receive a letter from you. I think that if you had sent it by mail, it would either not have reached me at all or would have taken a very long time. Glad you came back alive and not crippled. I hope our mutual friends are doing the same (Ernest, Prince and others). You haven’t written anything about them, but I’m worried about all of them. I believe (with a high probability) that on October 17 I will go back to the pre-trial detention center, and not under house arrest. Just based on logic, it didn’t make any sense to keep me in a cage and then, shortly before the trial, give me the opportunity to communicate with the press, etc. Naturally, no one who still has a brain in their head can seriously believe that I would “hide from the investigation.” My arrest is aimed at “silencing as much as possible” and in this regard it works well, so I don’t see any reason for the initiators of the case to change the situation. On this basis, I believe that the matter will not be limited to a fine or other “symbolic” punishment - that’s not why everything was started (I need to be “off” from the agenda for a year or two so that I don’t “get in the way” of the bastards from different “towers” at sharing of power). I will be very surprised if they give me a “real term” (1-2 years). The situation is “going crazy” and our ghouls from APeshechka “have no time for curtsies”; power and even (for many) their precious skin are at stake. The way “Cook” was removed is a clear demonstration that all constraint has been discarded (and the majority never had any brains). "Cook" being an obvious reference to the late Evgeniy Prigozhin For the rest: I believe that the situation in the country will “stabilize” for some time - the authorities are up to the so-called. “elections” will “freeze” all processes. And what will happen next - God knows, but obviously nothing good, since the “millstone” of time to prepare for victory for the sake of “internal stability” (while keeping the entire team of a mediocre thief unchanged) - a priori cannot lead to anything good . And this is in the absence of “black swans” (such as the “Prigozhinsky rebellion” or defeats at the front, which are not at all guaranteed against repetition). A protracted war is fatal for our economy and statehood, but the Kremlin nevertheless relied on it (in the hope of a change for the better due to “external factors” like “Trump 2.0”), since any “sudden movements”: a) do not work for these “head-assers”; A clear reference to the people in the Russian government, who have their heads stuck up their asses b) they are objectively shaking the “situation” to dangerous levels (as the same “Cook” rebellion showed) So they will “pull the cat by the tail” in the hope of “maybe.” I am saddened by my father’s illness. Give him your regards and wishes for good health for many years to come. Hang in there! I wish you and your family all the best, your friend I. Strelkov. "Lefortovo" 10/07/2023" |
